1. Designing an Enterprise Video Capture System Andy Wasklewicz TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECT Stanford University School of Medicine

2. Context 3. Overview World leader in medical research and training Emphasis on multi-disciplinary research Curriculum that melds the study of basic science and the clinical practice of medicine 4. Basic Facts Medical School Students: 400 Students in 5+ years Graduate Students: 820 Postdoctoral Scholars & Clinical Fellows: 1418 Undergraduate & graduate students outside the SoM served by the school: 628 Faculty: Practicing clinicians and researchers 5. Culture of Capture 1980s - Capture on VHS - available for checkout 1998 - Streaming REAL media 2007 - REAL downloadable 2008 - H.264/.MP4 downloadable 6. Curriculum Changes Move to fewer lectures More small group and team-based learning More integrated approach - move away from discipline based courses We still capture a lot! 7. Internal Drivers 8. Accreditation Shift to measurable outcomes Proven skill-based competencies Curriculum tracking (database) 9. Off Campus Growth Moving research departments Moving clinical departments Distribute content beyond MD curriculum 10. Video Beyond Lectures Public web video increasing Requests for special video People creating their own videos (teaching and research) Students self-capturing for skills documentations 11. SoM Technology Trends Mobility 80% of student population reports regularly using portable media device 75% have phones capable of playing media Median time spent on laptop 6-8 hours daily Stanford School of Medicine. January 2009. Student Technology Ownership and Use Survey 12. Quality & Formats Student/Faculty expectations Mobile devices to HD screens Stanford School of Medicine. January 2009. Student Technology Ownership and Use Survey 13. New Building Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge Intersection between School of Medicine, Hospitals Computer Science, Engineering 14. External Drivers 15. Storage Cheaper, faster, bigger Cloud storage 16. Capture & Encoding Hardware Cheaper, faster Efciency Video quality 17. Mobile Capture Hardware Smaller, cheaper, faster Mobile consumer hardware Students can & will capture lecture themselves 18. Distribution Channels Home grown solutions Custom applications Learning Management Systems iTunesU Youtube 19. OpenCast Podcast Producer MediaCore Open Communities 20. Policy & Conversations 21. Listen to faculty concerns Engage in OPEN dialogue Partner with University Council Education and Discussion 22.
